Judge Kristin Bays's standing order on continuances in every 284th District Court suit: a motion for continuance is considered only if in writing, timely filed, with sufficient cause supported by affidavit, stating the reason and how long a continuance is needed; absent an emergency, the court will not consider a motion filed within 14 days of the first day of the two-week rolling trial docket; a SECOND motion must include a certification (or, if agreed, signed by the attorneys) that the client is aware of and agrees to the requested continuance; a THIRD or later motion must carry the client's signature with 'AGREED' noted above it; non-agreed motions must be set for submission while agreed motions need not be; agreement to a continuance does not guarantee the court will grant it; and 'uncontested' is not the same as 'agreed' (uncontested motions require a setting).
